The debate can be done face-to-face or through distance learning, using a Voice over the Internet Protocol (VoIP) such as Centra or Skype. To use VoIP you will need a computer headset with microphone available for under $20. To use the free service of Skype, go to http://www.skype.com/products/skypeout/ and download the software following instructions on the Web site. Practice using Skype before conducting the debate. Choose someone to facilitate the debate and someone to be the timer, giving everyone an equal amount of time to defend the model. Talk about how to keep the pace moving. Be sure every voice in the whole class or group is heard.

After the debate, talk with your team for a few minutes (face-to-face or using VoIP) about what you learned (strengths and limitations) about each of the three models from the points made in the debate. Why are these models considered to be "bridges to twenty-first century discipline?" Which "bridges" (ideas from these models) would you choose now based on what you learned from this task? Individually use the Personal System of Classroom Discipline template (See Link on Homepage) to reflect and write ideas you want to remember and use in your own personal system of discipline.
